Robert, I went in to alter my comment and was not able to... The place
where I referred to the "related" issue was in a comment, not in the
original description of the bug. I am new to reporting bugs so if you
could instruct me on how to make the change you recommend, I would
gladly do so.

Thanks,

Kevin
